MIR. BEEcHER's RUGS AND BRoNzEs.
Congressman White Purchases His Forme
Pastors InIsfand for 800.
New York Tribune. Thursday

New York Tribune. Thursday.
European ceramics, glassware, furniture and
rugs were disposed of at the sale of the Beecher
collection at the American Art Association
galleries yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Beechef was
known to have made his purchases in these
directions with good taste, and it was apparent
from the quality of the articles disposed of
yesterday that his tastes We're also expensive
and were satisfied only with the best. The ques-
ton that sometimes used to be asked: ssWhat
does Mr.. Beecher do with his money!" receives a.
partial answer as this sale goes on.
The room full of people in the galleries
yesterday had much the appearance of q
Plymouth Church prayer-meeting, so numer-
ously was the great pastors flock represented,
md the determination to have something that
q had owned sent most of the small pieces up
prices that were the despair of the ordinary
syer. Congressman S. Y. White bought many
OF The more expensive sets and bronzes- and it
was he that carried off the large bronze ink
stand, which Mr. Beecher habitually used, after
a spirited competition that it up to $780,
Major w. G. Beecher bought in the bronze
figure of Albert Durer, which well-known
to frequent visitors to Mr.. Beechers home, and
many other pieces of value. The handsome
Dutch clock and the teak-wood cabinet We're
taken for the Twilight Club by General Charles
f. Wingate, at 1925 and Sl20. respectively.
With few exceptions in the case of the more
valuable pieces. prices ruled high, the desire for
souvenirs not as yet having been satisfied. This
afternoon the oil paintings and framed drawings
will be disposed of
